About
The amphitheater opened July 27, 2010, with a concert by Celtic Woman. Owned by the city of Bangor, the venue can house up to 15,000 spectators depending on configuration. In 2012, a proposal was submitted to the City Council to make the amphitheater a permanent venue. The council voted to keep the venue but declined its transition to a permanent stage. Renovation were made in 2013 to maintain the grounds, adhere to noise ordinances and expand the venue from 8,000 to 16,500. The venue features flexible stage front area that can be configured for reserve or general admission seating, 6,400 permanent stadium seats, and general admission lawn space.
